Ali - Re: Intel 440LX Chip Set, Memory Access Speed and Your Failing Memory This subject was covered about a month ago - looks like your memory has dropped a few (BILLION) bits. The 440LX memory speed benchmarks were measured - and you were the ORIGINAL POSTER - and they verify the greatly increased memory speed of the 440LX/SDRAM combination. Your propensity to argue that this isn't true, that no benchmarks exist to show this, is completely and utterly false - since you have read these VERY BENCHMARKS yourself since you were the one that made the ORIGINAL POST! Perhaps you should work on your memory retention problems rather than impressing everyone with your expertise in computer systems analysis. Paul techstocks.com Original Benchmarks: tdl.com {============================================================} Ali - Re: "LX test results (P-II, 128MB SDRAM, etc., etc): +-1.5% compared to 440FX !!!!!!" The folks who did the testing ran many benchmarks - you did them and yourself a disservice to report only one. Here are two additional ones that you "failed" to report: {===================} We also used Stream under Linux to test memory I/O. The 440LX averaged 174.0MB/S while the 440FX measured 98.3MB/S. That's a 77% improvement in the newer technology. Running Java Stream Under NT to measure memory performance indicated that the 440LX is 25.4% faster than the 440FX. {===================} Since the use of SDRAM is now added to the LX, memory acccess improvements are one of the goals of the LX - these are clearly achieved as the motherboard testers confirmed - a fact that you "cleverly" omitted from your "report".
